“Suits” Renewed for 16-Episode Season 5, Says USA Network

USA Network orders an additional season of its flagship drama "Suits."

USA has no immediate plans to dress down.

The network announced Monday that it has ordered a sixteen-episode fifth season of drama “Suits.” Those episodes will begin airing in the summer of 2015.

Currently in the first half of its fourth season, “Suits” is not as it once was but remains a steady ratings performer for the network. It also far outdraws the network’s recent drama launches “Rush” and “Satisfaction.”

“SUITS continues to fire on all cylinders, delivering provocative storytelling and complex characters that viewers can’t get enough of,” said USA’s Chris McCumber, President of USA Network. “With some of the best writing on television, and a brilliant ensemble cast, we anticipate a spectacular fifth season for a series that has become a marquee property for USA.”
